You're about to listen to The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, which originally aired on YouTube. If you'd like to catch the show live this off season, you can head to The Late-Round Fantasy Football YouTube channel, youtube.com/atlateroundff. We'll be live each Wednesday at noon Eastern. Without further ado, here's this week's episode.

**David Kitchen** (0:33)
Welcome in, welcome in, David Kitchen, a mere employee of LateRound Media, with JJ Zachariason, the guy who actually owns LateRound. JJ, how are you?

**JJ Zachariason** (0:45)
Yeah, I'm trying to adjust my desk so that I'm like centered well. Something's going on with my camera.

**David Kitchen** (0:51)
I mean, if anything, I'm not well-adjusted, but people have been saying that for a long time.

**JJ Zachariason** (0:55)
Yeah, you're not well-adjusted, and this is for sure, that's for sure.
I think you asked how I'm doing, I think. I was too focused on getting my desk situated, because I do have a standing desk that raises and lowers, depending on if I want to stand. And I'll tell you guys what, I don't stand enough with these desks. I still need to stand more. But things are good. This is our, you know, we don't have a show next week, a late round show, because I will be on vacation. I am taking a vacation. I got an e-mail from someone who asked if I ever take vacation. And the answer is yes, I do, because I'm taking one next week. It's, this is one of the more dead times of the calendar for us with football and stuff. And so it lands when spring break hits. So we are doing a spring break trip with the kiddos and a couple other families should be a good time. I'll be around, but I will not be doing this show. We will have two shows though publishing still next week, because the grind don't stop.

**David Kitchen** (1:54)
That's right. We also have The Late-Round Newsletter had a good email being sent out by Mr. Brandon Cadula. And as far as the prospects, some of the prospects, the movement based on a recent mock draft. So that's been fun. We've also got the Patreon, the chat is going, we got dynasty chat happening with people in their dynasty drafts starting up. And we also have a little bit of a lead change in the late rounders bracket challenge.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:37)
So I got to say, guys, so you know, we have a poll for March Madness. And first off, if Tennessee and Duke would have won, which Duke should have won, Tennessee should have won, Tennessee got obviously destroyed. Tennessee was one of my final four picks.
I'd be cruising right now. I'd be looking real good. But I am so glad that the person who is benefiting most from this current madness in March is Brandon Gidula because Kitchen talked so much junk after day one of the tournament. I know, but it makes it great. It makes it great after the fact that you talk to the junk. You sent it to all of our subscribers saying that you...

**David Kitchen** (3:24)
I was number one. I don't know what else to say. At that time, I was number one. It's just like after you get done with your fantasy draft, like with your buddies and your homie draft, and you're drafting the room and you have the utmost confidence that your team is about to destroy theirs.

**JJ Zachariason** (3:42)
I get it. It's just so funny that the person you destroy just happens to be the person who has like one of the best brackets that you could possibly have right now. He has like a 99.9 percentile bracket at this point. So props to Gudula for... I know he did some leverage work too because he has a substack. And he did some March Madness leverage stuff that we used to do back in the day at Numberfire. It was the most popular article we did where we would look at the ESPN who picked whom data. And you could find the EV of picking different teams and stuff based on Numberfire Analytics. Rest in peace, Numberfire. And yeah, it was cool to be able to like... It was actually like a really good... Like there's a lot of leverage that can be gained by doing that. I used to have pretty good success. This year, I just kind of was like, oh, what's Ken Pom saying? Okay, I'll go like roughly in that direction, which is it almost... It's gotten to the point where it's almost bad to use Ken Pom, I feel like, because...

**David Kitchen** (4:38)
It just depends. Yeah, it's like also like in DFS with optimizers and CIFS. If everyone's using them, do you want to use something else?
